Car Air Filters

The air filter in your vehicle is responsible for preventing foreign particles and other contaminants from entering the engines intake manifold, and ensuring that only clean air makes its way into the cylinders. This not only prevents damage to your engine or premature failure, it also ensures your engine is able to maintain optimal performance.

If you air filter is allowed to become fouled or choked with dirt and debris it can become a restriction. This restriction can limit your engines ability to take in air, in turn reducing the amount of fuel that can be fed into the cylinder while maintaining a safe air/filter ratio, resulting in reduced power.

While there is no hard and fast rule on how often you should replace your air filter, it is a good rule of thumb to inspect your air filter in regular intervals, every 6-12 months at a minimum, and replace it every 2-3 years, or 20,000-40,000 kilometres, to ensure replacement before the filter media degrades and its filtration capabilities are compromised.

If your vehicle is a high performance compact, like a Mitsubishi Evolution, Subaru WRX Sti or Toyota GR Corolla, chances are you’re after an induction system with improves flow and a bit more chooch. Accordingly, you’ll likely want a pod style filter, which has a large surface area of filter media and does little to attenuate the sound emanating from your induction system. For just about everyone else, and every other intended use application, we stock a broad range of drop-in panel style air filters to suit most every vehicle in the Australian carpark.

We stock the very best filters from all the world’s best manufacturers including Aeroflow, Autotechnica, Bosch, Fram, K&N Filters, Mann, Ryco, SAAS, Sakura and Wesfil, ensuring no matter what vehicle you drive or what you do with it, you can find a replacement capable of meeting your needs in our range.
